1995 Lincoln Town Car ES V8 from North America

Summary:

Powerful, luxurious, elegant and reliable, this is one of the best used cars you can buy

Faults:

The driver's side front power window catch mechanism broke, but the window motor continued to function and could not raise or lower the window pane. It was a relatively inexpensive fix.

The suspension system was replaced for about $1,300 when it failed in 2001.

Minor electronic nuisances have developed, but I have not had them fixed. Mostly, these include steering wheel buttons that control the fan and temperature which have stopped working. I can still control these functions from the dashboard, however.

General Comments:

This is the finest used car I have ever owned or driven. Extremely comfortable, it handles well, has cost me little to maintain, and my friends enjoy all the extra room while being impressed with the good exterior condition in which I've maintained it. I plan to keep it forever, even if I eventually buy a new Mercedes, as I plan to do in the next 2 years.

1995 Lincoln Town Car Cartier 4.6L SHOC V8 from North America

Summary:

Faults:

At 130,000 miles the RF power window regulator went out. Motor and regulator.

At 140,000 miles the left power window went out "Regulator" broke.

At 160,000 miles the car started to kind of shutter at 35-45mph...=new torque converter and trans rebuild, but it started to do the same thing 6,000 miles later and I was told that I needed to pour 8oz of anti-friction fluid modifier in the trans... it fixed it... I wish that they had told me this before I had paid $2400 for a rebuild. The car started to consume 2-5 quarts of oil between 5,000 miles changes at 165,000-miles.

General Comments:

The car is 100% comfort and safety. I got the car from a deceased grandmother who bought it new. I love the seats and back-lite radio controls on the steering wheel. Huge trunk and back seat which allows me (6.2Feet) to push my seat back and the backseaters are still with lots of knee room. It seem to be very reliable..

1995 Lincoln Town Car Executive 4.6 liter V8 from North America

Summary:

Faults:

Some engine roughness under acceleration--needed spark plug wires. Good wires are critical to this engine, apparently.

Wipers sometimes cycle too far to the left and overshoot the edge of the windshield.

General Comments:

This is a large car, and of its type it's a very good one.

Performance is brisk enough, and handling perfectly acceptable.

Interior and trunk room are excellent.

This model is comfortable to sit in and drive, and is very well equipped even when not heavily optioned.

Lots of these cars have the digital instrument panel like mine. Not everybody likes it, but I find it's very easy to read and capable of giving you lots of information, like instantaneous gas mileage readout and two trip odometers.

Looks are subjective, but I think it's a very handsome design--traditional enough to look like a Lincoln, but sleek enough not to seem old-fashioned.

1995 Lincoln Town Car Cartier 4.6 from North America

Summary:

Class

Faults:

Well the car has been pretty good to me. Aside from routine services I had to have the transmission flushed due to a shuddering problem when shifting from 3 to 4 and two new brake calipers. For putting 100k on this car I feel very satisfied with it. I've owned many Lincolns and have to say I think they got it right with this one.
